Fintech operator · AI product builder · Toronto
I spent 13 years deciding what not to let through. Now building AI agents that know when not to.
That was thirteen years of risk and credit at an $85B brokerage, where I still run the desk: find what breaks before it does, and protect the customer on the other side of every account. Nights and weekends, I build AI products end to end. I ask the same two questions of everything I ship: what does this do on its worst day, and what does it do for the customer?
“Start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology.”
Currently: shipping Mila and reading AI Engineering by Chip Huyen

What a risk desk taught me about evaluating AI agents
The failure modes that matter aren't in the demo. They're in the long tail nobody scripted. A risk operator's lens on shipping agents.
